Raspberry Pretzel Bars

Raspberry Pretzel Bars

My friend Currie made these bars for us a few years ago and I loved them. I wanted to make a fun and tasty dessert that would last a few days and raspberry pretzel bars came to mind. They are pretty easy to make and use ingredients that I had on hand–yay! We all thought these raspberry pretzel bars turned out delicious! A perfect combination of flavors & textures–salty & crunchy crust with a creamy sweet center topped with a tart jello & fruit layer. These bars are a delicious summer dessert.
